Watch: Kanye West Rapping With His Late Mother In 2003

Knowing how close Kanye West was with his mother, Donda West, and how devastated he was when she passed back in 2007, this video of the two of them trying to recall an old verse of his and even rapping portions of it together is surreal.

It's also crazy to hear the content--Yeezy is joking about how he hasn't made a million dollars yet and the two call this rhyme his "million dollar" rhyme. With all of 'Ye's success in the years to come, and with Cruel Summer about to drop, it is heartwarming to watch this archival footage and remember that at one point in time, Kanye was a humble up-and-coming rapper.
